First Republic Bank in San Mateo, CA

First Republic Bank is a premier bank. The people who work for this bank really know what customer service is about. I would recommend either the San Mateo branch or the one in Burlingame. This is a bank who treats their customers well.

I switched to FRB after being a citibank customer for over 20+ years because I hate citi now. But 1st republic has been great so far. I've been a customer for about 6 months now. No junk mail, no spam in my inbox. This bank is truly atm fee free. Unlike others who don't really have no fee atms, 1st republic actually is totally fee free. They don't pass through anything. No atm usage fee, no out of network atm fees, no foreign conversion fee, no access fees and whatever else fees they make up (I'm looking at you citibank). FRB's website is as secure as I would hope a bank to be. A sign of a bank whose security I don't trust is one whose websites are full of bugs, broken links, never scrutinizes your ip address and a page full of useless clutter (still looking at you citi).
